Isaac Delusion - Midnight Sun

Isaac Delusion - Midnight Sun
The second release from Paris' Cracki label, and the duo Isaac Delusion's debut, this really isn't a "dance" record. Indeed, "Iron Man" and "Waiting" are straight-up indie pop. Featuring chiming guitars, close-harmonized vocals and '60s-inspired drumming, they lie somewhere between Kings of Convenience, Jose Gonzalez and vintage Slumberland Records. But "Midnight Sun" is different: it's still a pop song at heart, but its crisp drum break, looping chords and chopped-up vocal harmonies edge it back towards the programmed-music end of the spectrum. In both its elements and overall feel, it's strikingly similar to Pezzner's "Two Dots," from a couple of years back, but its mood is even more beguiling, fluttering like a quickened heart between wistfulness and bright-eyed cheer. It's perfect for lovers' mixtapes; file under "crush grooves."
